Аннотация:The article examines the impact of the currency crisis and the consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on labor migration from Tajikistan to Russia, the impact of new anti-Russian sanctions from the European Union and the United States of America on Tajik labor migrants, as well as the repulsive factors of the reorientation of migrants from Tajikistan to a new direction of labor emigration to the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Persian Gulf. Russia is the main channel of emigration for labor migrants from Tajikistan, who, during the entire period of their stay in Russia, face various crisis phenomena in the country along with the local population. Each crisis in Russia has had a different negative impact on the situation of Tajik migrant workers. During the currency crisis of 2014-2015, due to the fall in the ruble exchange rate, migrants from Tajikistan lost their income twice. During the COVID-19 pandemic, as a result of the introduction of a self-isolation regime in Russia from the end of March 2020. There was a contraction of the Russian labor market, many Tajik labor migrants lost their jobs. The new anti-Russian sanctions have already affected Tajikistan. Due to the sanctions of the European Union and the United States against Russia, the total flow of labor migration from Tajikistan to the Russian Federation has decreased. The purpose of the article is to identify the attractive factors of the orientation of Tajik migrants to labor emigration to Russia and the repulsive factors of the reorientation of Tajik migrants to a new direction of labor emigration to the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Persian Gulf.
